AT the last examination held by
the state board of law examiners
for the State of Ohio Mr.. Chas. w.
Chestnut, a bright young gentle
man of Cleveland, led the class,
numbering thirty-eight applicants,
with ninety-three per cent. Mr..
Chestnut, we understand, is a
young man of thirty-one or two
years, a native of South Carolina.
He has been a resident of Cleve-
land for the past four years, en-
ployed principally as stenographer
and law reporter in one Of the
leading railway law firms of that
city. He is an author of no small
literary merit. His literary pro-
ductions have found places in some
of the leading magazines which
make fiction speciality, alongside
of those written by such authors
as Henry Greville, Arsene Hous-
seye, Alphonse Daudet, Philip
Burke Marston, and a host of other
admirable writer's of charming
novellettes and GERS de societe. Mr..
Chestnut is gentleman of whom
the citizens of Cleveland should
feel proud. Although he does not
seek prominence, or what is vul-
carly called notoriety, yet through
his scholarly and literary attain
ments, and his modest abandon
ment of superficial publicity. he,
like other men of his intellectual
bearing, is the leverage, so to speak,
which raises society to a high plane
of moral and intellectual purity.
Modesty and personal worth con-
tribute more toward the advance
ment of a people than anything
else.
